Plughugger has returned with another exclusive free sample pack! This time around, Carl sat down with the Crave analog semi-modular synthesizer from Behringer to bring you a fresh collection of sounds.
While the Crave is a quite limited synthesizer, thanks to it’s semi-modular approach, you can expand its sound palette quite a bit.
One of the things about the Crave that really stands out is the sequencer, which allows you to make quite advanced sequences including ratcheting, glides and accents. So if you are looking for a 303-esque style synth that doesn’t sound like the 303 – the Behringer Crave is a fantastic choice.
The pack features a collection of 101 monophonic 16-bit samples, recorded at 48 kHz and then converted down to 44.1 kHz.
- 14 kicks.
- 10 snares.
- 8 hihats (6 closed / 2 open).
- 6 shakers.
- 2 crash cymbals.
- 1 rimshot.
- 8 percussion sounds.
- 21 bass sounds.
- 31 fx.
All samples are original and 100% royalty free. You can download The Crave below.

Personally I really am a big proponent/user of gear by Behringer/The Music Group. I see so many people still to this day knocking Behringer gear whilst at the sametime often waxing lyrical about TC Electronic gear for example, It is priceless to see the reactions when one informs them that TC Electronic is a brand of the MUSIC GROUP haha ha, they get that malfunctioned/short-circuited look on their face(s) or literally tell me that I am lying as that can not be true.
I’ve not heard much of their recent slew of synthesizers but I’m willing to be that they are great for the price compared to competition as well as punching way, way above their weight Ronnie my friend, so therefore I thank yourself and Plughugger for this as it will give me a great idea of what Behringer’s analogue synthesizers are capable of as I do not have much in the way of synthesizers, I could definitely see a Behringer number in the future at some point if the price is right along with the features and what sort of results I would be able to conjure from such a device which is anything but my strong suit yet for that very reason makes that area that more magnetic to me.
Cheers and as always thank you for Rekkerd my friend.
